“Average Sushi”

The reviews on TA say it all.
- Not all you can eat (extra fees for certain dishes)
- Not the best quality sushi, or presentation for that matter
- Pricey drinks
- Busy and noisy place
- Cold staff, average service
Keep looking. This is not the place you want to spend your evening.

"all you can eat" 27 € for dinner, excluding drinks.
large variety of sushi and some chinese dishes: you order from a tablet-menu (cute and funny method) and each table can choose 15 pieces in each round, endless rounds!!! but you must finish the previous one!
efficient staff, very fast service. perhaps there was too much rice, some pieces were...

You get what you pay for , but expect a drinks bill also and not the freshest or most eloquently served sushi - pretty boring and over filling - I really don't think they deserve their title as if they really were Shabu Shabu ,they should acknowledge and honor that fine Japanese cuisine

and have tried most of the other 'all you can eat' asian/sushi restaurants in the area and feel that shabu is far and away the best. i walked out of luxor. and the new place by leiden centraal(not aroma. haven't been there yet. don't know if i will. i don't trust places that don't allow me to see a menu...
